Super Cigarette (update on pg 6)

[quirky]

I like the break down of the atomizer. I have thought about buying an extra just to tear it apart. You have saved me some money!

As for flavors - I have only tried a few I purchased from e-cig.com. Honestly, I was excited about trying them all and pulled all the little bottles out of their boxes. I no longer know which flavor is which. I can really only smell the coffee, cherry and mint. No matter, because I do not know what flavor I am smoking at any given moment I have been mixing willy nilly. It all tastes rather the same. Pleasant. Is "pleasant" a flavor?

i have had quite a lengthy chat with pillbox on the phone.. we both think the atomizers are disposable items.. at the price they cost why shouldnt they be..

when they fail for whatever reason buy some new ones.. at pillbox prices whats the problem.. the carts are disposable.. the atomizers are disposable and so are the batteries which will wear out as well..

the little coil thing breaks down so does the gauze around the atomizer.. the switches can fail the ends can come lose.. they are so cheap it aint worth the hassle of doing anything except ordering a few spares in advance..

wise up dudes we aint paying ruyan prices.. chuck the bits that dont work properly and make sure u have spares in hand.. if u talk to pillbox nice and dont use ebay he will ship several parts just for one shipping cost.. the ebay shipping cost per item help pay his ebay charges..

I totally agree with what you said, the only reason i am returning an atomizer is because it didn't work to start with, but i agree that they are pretty cheap, and borderline disposable, especially if you consider that a pack of cigs costs pretty much £6, so £4.99 isn't much especially if you get a month or two out of them. I am ordering another 4 so that i have some reserves.

I have NO complaints whatsoever with Pillbox, quite the opposite in fact, which is why i recommended his shop. He is more than happy to replace the defective atom, and i will definately be ordering more items through him.

The great thing about the super e-cig, is that it is made up of a number of parts all of which can be easily re-placed at a low cost, so it is easily affordable to have a number of spares so that you never have to go without if it breaks down.

If you are based in the UK then i really would recommend this seller.

I agree with you guys about the benefits of cheap parts. Stateside there are a couple re-sellers on ebay. There is also ruyanhealth.com which I have ordered a couple parts from with good shipping and service. The only thing that slightly worrying is that darn fiber in the thing. It's burning in their gradually, maybe a little bit every once in a while when you drag too hard, or your cartridge is a little low. I will attempt to remove the fiber as an experiment in one of my backups. edit--do not remove the fiber, as the liquid soaked fiber is apparently keeping the heating element/coiled wire from burning up completely, which it did after one puff and crumbled away!

The super cigarette, is known as the DSE101.

The DSE101 has a serious design flaw. I would never recommend this model.

However, there is a DSE103, which also looks like the super cigarette, with the fixed problem in the DSE103.

You should try the DSE103 models, as they seem to be the most stable mini e-cigs yet

All of theses serial numbers can get kind of confusing. Seems the farsee groups' number is rn4081. They don't have any atomizers that resemble this DSE103 on the company website which appears to have shortened the housing and added larger air intake holes. Have they eliminated the fiber or thread in the atomizer coil? This has been the only source of trouble for my model so far.
It may be the wrong place to post this question, but after tearing apart an e-cig it makes me wonder why are brands like the janty and the njoy so expensive? I've taken apart atomizers, and they are by no means sophisticated pieces of equipment, and I can't imagine what would warrant costs upwards of 200 dollars for one of these primitive electrical devices.

I've got a super cigarette and I'm very happy with it. Replacement atomizers are $7, from ecigsshop.com, and they last for about 3 weeks. Which for me is amazing in terms of money savings from smoking. Three weeks for me is at least 5 or 6 packs of smokes at $7 each. I've got 6 spare batteries that I rotate as I smoke them out, a couple bottles of juice from electroniccigarettesales.com which I use to drip. I've got giant volumes of smoke plenty of spare batteries, (replacements $10 from ecigsshop.com) and I'm totally set.

I've got an njoy pen style, an ecig penstyle, a couple other minis, and a ruyan Pipe. Of all of them, the super cigarette is BY FAR the best in terms of taste and smoke volume. Big thumbs up.

Hi guys,
First time using this forum although I've been reading the posts for several days now. I started electronic "smoking" a week ago and haven't touched a real cigarette since then.. I have a mini cig (DSE901), a super cigarette (rn4081), and I have ordered three sedansa (nano, nanoII, cigar).
Lifebot, the DSE101 (V1) you are mentioning is not the same with this super cigarette used in this review. The rn4081 is different (and I assume by different manufacturer) as you can tell by the stripes and the golden lettering on the other model's battery. The DSE103 (V2) is the newer model but only to DSE101 and therefore the design flaws are not applied to rn4081. I realised this, after examining the products available on e-bay.

I sent a picture, my favorite eccentric billionaire Mr. Hughes, over to a company in china and they sent back this little cigarette case. Then I bought some paper-clay, pushed the super cigarette into it five times, let the clay dry, covered it with some scraps of an old pair of pants and popped it into the case.

 

[TropicalBob]

Now, that's a personal statement. Great job.

 

[dnakr]

Love the e-cig case. Now off to buy some paper-clay...

 

[zdravecigarety]

HELLO, have you got some experience with SHENZEN FIRST UNION TECHNOLOGY and model RN4081?

Thank you

Jan

 

[jarvis]

I did a search for it and it looks exactly like the one reviewed in this thread.

 

[karenwest1961]

jarvis! I love the cigarette case...but

my GOD, did you really wear pants with that pattern?????

You're a brave one. LOL :twisted:

 

[NerdyCinderella]

I thought the same thing karen - lol

 

[Mr.Darcy]

Hello everybody,

I bought two e-cigs a couple of days ago from ebay. The brand is super cigarette. The one with a blue box. So I have two atomizers now. With one of them, I can almost taste the bitter taste of nicotine and it does not produce much smoke. I guess this bitter taste is because there is a problem with the thing, somehow the nicotine flows to my mouth. The second one is a bit better for producing smoke, but after a couple of puffs, it stops producing puffs. I asked the seller, she says it seems like I have a bad atomizer and she promises to return my money or to provide another atomizer. I have a friend how is a tough smoker, he says he has tried three different brands and ruyan is good because it has a system which the other brands don't have. well, he explained this unique system to me today but it is beyond me well, the amount of smoke is really important for me. I checked ruyan. it is relatively expensive. so considering the price effect and the smoke effect, what do you suggest? should I return my e-cigs, and buy a different brand, or should I ask for another atomizer? By the way, mine is RN4081, too.
Thanks.

Hey, checkered tweed is going to make a comeback... it's just about 50 years overdue.

"should I return my e-cigs, and buy a different brand, or should I ask for another atomizer? By the way, mine is RN4081, too."

I am kind of in the same boat. I've gone through 4 atomizers since starting the thread, they are only 15 bucks for 2 of them shipped, but I would really prefer spending the money on a more permanent solution, however there doesn't seem to be one on the market right now.

 

[jonnymagic]

bah, had bought a dse103 and all was going well until the atomizer just packed in for no reason, got a kissbox yentl coming anyway
